What drives this industry
Regional bank quality is best measured by ROE + loan-loss history + capital ratios. Sustained ROE above 12% across a full credit cycle is the screen, names like M&T Bank, First Republic (before SVB), Glacier Bancorp built compounder records that way. Buffett's rule: never own a bank you wouldn't deposit money at.
